We believe the key to a better future is listening to and understanding the perspectives of others.

Merran’s team is working to align an array of public, private, and civil-society interests around a vision of a low-carbon Canadian energy economy and a policy framework that would deliver such a future.

Nowadays you have be a modern Spartan to enjoy January; the clanging steel of fitness clubs, lettuce seemingly at every meal, and frugal, no-frills living are the tell-tale signs that the holiday binge is toast.

Oil Sands Question and Response (OSQAR) is a blog created by Suncor Energy to support constructive dialogue about the oil sands. In our weekly posts, we talk about the energy industry, environmental impact, tailings management and reclamation, water management and the social and economic implications of oil sands development.

Our oil sands operations are near Fort McMurray, Alberta, where we recover bitumen from oil sands through mining and in situ operations. The bitumen from both operations is then upgraded to refinery-ready feedstock and diesel fuel. More about the where and the what of the oil sands can be found on our oil sands resource page.
